Ireland’s first, full integrative Zombie Infested 5k Obstacle Race Youth Nation, a leading Irish youth communications company is hosting ‘Run For Your Lives’ the first event of its kind in Ireland on October 26th in Malahide Castle. Tired of stereotypical Halloween events? Run For Your Lives will present the participants with an extreme sensory experience and a physically challenging course that is guaranteed to pump adrenaline!
Run For Your Lives is an obstacle course in which teams or individuals must pass ten physical obstacles including a zombie infested maze, a paintball sniper alley (optional), and pass through army crawl nets. In addition to this physical test, they will also have to dodge and avoid The Infected, or Zombies, while passing through various stages of the wasteland. The course will be fully rigged with hi-spec audio technology to add to the experience.
Participants will be projected into an exact replica of an apocalyptic wasteland, equipped with medics, army bases and everything in between – from the moment you step through the entry gate, right through to the finish line, everything and everyone will be in character!
“We’re delighted to see such interest already. Our vision was to create an event that people become completely immersed in – our aim is to wow people with the visual and sound effects; to make them feel as though they are in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, and not just participating in a standardized dress-up Halloween event.”
Run For Your Lives is here to shock – to fascinate and provide an engaging and entertaining day out. This is why participants are being given the choice to decide what role they want to play – whether they want to be The Survivors, chasing through an obstacle course in teams or individuals – or whether they want to be The Infected, the chasers.
“Full, professional make up and briefing will be given to all participants who apply to be The Infected, also known as zombies,” said Mark. “There will be a lot of surprises on the day too – we don’t want to give it all away”.
Each participant has three tags that they must keep intact. Those who reach the end of the course with more than two of their life tags are crowned ‘The Ultimate Survivors’. For those still hyped full of adrenaline at the end of the course, there will be an Apocalypse Party.
